| + | **Race Start and Wash Riding ** (paddlers vary widely in their skill or inclination to paddle in a straight line (we hear that race starts in Australia are notoriously bumpy), notice also that the paddler filming the race has a much higher cadence than most of the other initial grouping paddlers - smaller blade/shorter paddle? - this may work better for him and/or contribute to less likelihood of injury?) | ||

Then get on their draft and try to hang on until the pace drops to something sane. |

You should experiment with how many waves you can jump until you need to recover while you are still able to sit on a wave without losing it. Race course strategy may make a difference also if course conditions tend to be predictable. Where in the course is it harder or easier for you to jump waves? Can you work harder on a slower stretch then recover in a stretch where you can rely on waves that will maintain your speed better while you recover? |

So there is no mass start for the boaters (nor advice about). But otherwise the advice is excellent for novices about pacing yourself, awareness of your course and course start, and finishing with a beach run. | ||

If you assume that the 3,4,5 hrs mentioned are for daily workouts rather than describing the total times for each week then you might take it as a joke. | ||
| + | * **Ultra Distance **there is no single governing organization for really long paddle races so there is **not one official definition** of the distance where long or marathon distance becomes "ultra". Some paddlers suggest **50 km** or longer while others think that ultra should only begin at **100 or even 200 miles** and more. Others suggest that the definition should require a certain degree of **hardship and suffering**. | ||
